Probably the most expensive elevator in Finland and the least thrilling rollercoaster in the enitre world. But definetely a must see, just to say that you have taken a ride with it.
Jokes aside, it actually takes you to my favourite area in entire Turku (Kakolanmäki) and if you want to skip the workout of walking up a steep hill, this might actually be useful.

Museot / Museums
Just my favourite picks, there are plenty of other museums and depending on the display they might be very interesting too. But these are my favourites that never fail!
Best museum of Turku in my opinion! Has varying displays, the café located inside is also great place for break in the afternoon.

One of my favorite neighbourhoods in Turku. Has lot of interesting restaurants, coffeeshop, bakery, brewery, spa, escaperoom etc... Only 5 min walk from the house! My absolute favourite (and kind of secret) spot to watch sunsets is in the rocks of Kakolanmäki. I can tell you the exact location if you want to know it, just message me.

Popular place amongst locals and visitors for strolling. The river Aura and the riverbanks are best places to enjoy few beers in the Spring and Summer. Might be very crowded though during weekends.
